Brian Hicks @brianhicks.bsky.social · 20/07/2026yeahhhh. Do you know if they post anywhere? They put that blog post out, but of course they can't communicate that way if they're getting DDoS'd. Would love to hear even "hey we know it's down, real weird, updates soon." 000
Brian Hicks @brianhicks.bsky.social · 20/07/2026blah, does anyone know if Tornado VPS posts anywhere? I can't find any updates about the ongoing situation, except for their blog… and that's down right now 'cause of the same thing. 001

The point is to write the best book that can come out of YOU & hope it clicks in some way that others see it. There is no YOU in writing you produce with AI! 024148
Brian Hicks @brianhicks.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Don't extrude text at people. It's rude. Writing for humans should be produced by humans. We can deal with language barriers and bad construction; we have a harder time reviewing masses of generated text nobody has taken the time to review or refine. (Plus you gotta own your communication!) 010
